In short, telnet allows you to connect to a server on any port you wish (23 is the default port if you don’t specify one) and you can communicate with the server through the telnet session. I only use telnet when I’m occasionally playing on a BBS or troubleshooting mailservers or webservers. Not something you’ll use that often.

While is sometimes get used for diagnostic duties it is primarily intended for remote terminal access. Telnetting into a computer presents you with a character mode screen as if your were sat in front of a terminal directly connected to the machine or on the system console itself. It is _very_ popular on platforms where character mode apps are still popular and UNIX in particular, but less so on Windows: Windows users simply are not used to character mode apps even when they are more efficient.
As an example, try telnet://sdf.lonestar.org which will give you a feel for what it is all about even if you do not open an account.
